We can't always be unoffensive as Christians, because Jesus was offensive to many. Not because He aimed to be, but because what He stood for stood against the ancient ways. Rules and doctrines will always be offensive to someone somewhere. But as Christians it is as if we have taken the 'do no harm' pact that the doctors have, and it's true wa are supposed to live softly with all around us, but we can't always please everyone, we can be gentle and kind without selling out to every new idea that comes along, but it takes Jesus to know how to do things right and to live with people without compromising our faith.

I am a young woman who grew up in British Columbia. In BC was all I ever wanted; I had my poodle (Max) and all my friends, Saturdays at the Vancouver Aquarium and Sunday afternoons at one of my favorite beaches it was paradise. But God had a different plan for my life and my dad's job landed us in Alberta and now where I remain, in small town Souris Manitoba. The transitions from paradise to prairie were difficult and I will admit that now 10 years later I still refer to home as Abbotsford BC. Through this crazy pathway trek across Canada I have had one true constant, God; and though none of it was easy, everything that has happened in my life has formed in me a true lasting friendship with the one I call Immanuel. Because no matter how far from home we are God is with us, and thanks to God I have found an almost completely over looked beauty in Manitoba. If you open your eyes you will see that God has planted wondrous things everywhere you go.
